Another Herding Lesson

We had a herding lesson on Saturday at Keepstone. The weather was nice, and there were 3 Shilohs attending.


Marti and her handsome smoothie Tuck were in the big field with 5 sheep. They are quite a team!



Wolf and Bella Breeze are so excited. Wolf got to go into a bigger pen this time. He needed a few reminders (stick bops) before he finally settled down. Our instructor Susan was very patient with him.


Bob offers Wolf some hot dogs while sweet (and patient) Bella looks on. "Sit, please".


Okay Bella Breeze, show us how it's done! Bella is in the big field like Tuck. She's very fast and very focused. It's easy to see that she loves herding.



Wow, look at this boy Tuck. He's 10 years old and ageless. We love watching him work.




.....and he taught Wolf how to lie down in the water trough----what fun!





Tuck and Marti go to work. Look at the size of that sheep---it's as big as a large calf!






Bella wants to go back in.
Next time, pretty girl.
